text:
In recent years, the percentage of veterans who report having service-connected disabilities (i.e., disabilities that were incurred in, or aggravated during, military service) has risen. About twenty-five percent of recent veterans report having a service-connected disability, as compared to about thirteen percent of all veterans. Common injuries experienced by veterans include missing limbs, spinal cord injuries, burns, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), hearing loss, traumatic brain injuries, and other impairments.
This guide is intended to answer questions you may have about your rights as an injured veteran, now that you have left the service and are returning to a civilian job or seeking a new job. It also explains the kinds of adjustments (called reasonable accommodations) that may help you be successful in the workplace.
1. Are there any laws that protect veterans with disabilities in employment?
Yes. There are several federal laws that provide important protections for veterans with disabilities who are looking for jobs or are already in the workplace. Two of those laws –the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – protect veterans from employment discrimination.
USERRA has requirements for reemploying veterans with and without service-connected disabilities and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Title I of the ADA, which is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), prohibits private and state and local government employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating against individuals on the basis of disability.
2. What does USERRA do?
USERRA prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or applicants for employment on the basis of their military status or military obligations. It also protects the reemployment rights of individuals who leave their civilian jobs (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) to serve in the uniformed services, including the U.S. Reserve forces and state, District of Columbia, and territory (e.g., Guam) National Guards.
Under USERRA, employers must make "reasonable efforts" to help a veteran who is returning to employment to become qualified to perform the duties of the position he or she would have held but for military service whether or not the veteran has a service-connected disability. If the veteran has a disability incurred in, or aggravated during, his or her service, the employer must make reasonable efforts to accommodate the disability and return the veteran to the position in which he or she would have been employed if the veteran had not performed military service. If the veteran is not qualified for that position due to the disability, USERRA requires the employer to make reasonable efforts to help qualify the veteran for a job of equivalent seniority, status, and pay, the duties of which the person is qualified to perform or could become qualified to perform. This could include providing training or retraining for the position at no cost to the veteran. See Title 38, United States Code, Chapter 43 – Employment and Reemployment Rights of Members of the Uniformed Services, 38 U.S.C. § 4313; 20 C.F.R. §§ 1002.198, 1002.225 -.226. USERRA applies to all veterans, not just those with service-connected disabilities, and to all employers regardless of size. For more information on the reemployment rights of uniformed service personnel, see DOL's website at www.dol.gov/vets.
3. What protections does the ADA provide?
Title I of the ADA prohibits an employer from treating an applicant or employee unfavorably in all aspects of employment — including hiring, promotions, job assignments, training, termination, and any other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment — because he has a disability, a history of having a disability, or because the employer regards him as having a disability. That means, for example, that it is illegal for an employer to refuse to hire a veteran because he has PTSD, because he was previously diagnosed with PTSD, or because the employer assumes he has PTSD. The ADA also limits the medical information employers may obtain and prohibits disability-based harassment and retaliation.
Finally, the ADA provides that, absent undue hardship (significant difficulty or expense to the employer), applicants and employees with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodation to apply for jobs, to perform their jobs, and to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment (e.g., access to the parts of an employer's facility available to all employees and access to employer-sponsored training and social events).
Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act applies the same standards of non-discrimination and reasonable accommodation as the ADA to Federal Executive Branch agencies and the United States Postal Service. Documents explaining Title I of the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act can be found on EEOC's website at www.eeoc.gov.
4. I was injured during active duty but don't think of myself as "disabled." How do I know if I am protected by the ADA?
You are protected if you meet the ADA's definition of disability and are qualified for the job you want or hold. The ADA defines an "individual with a disability" as a person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) has a record of such an impairment (i.e. was substantially limited in the past, such as prior to undergoing rehabilitation); or (3) is regarded, or treated by an employer, as having such an impairment, even if no substantial limitation exists. You are considered qualified if you are able to meet an employer's requirements for the job, such as education, training, employment experience, skills, or licenses, and are able to perform the job's essential or fundamental duties with or without reasonable accommodation.
As a result of changes to the ADA made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, it is now much easier for individuals with a wide range of impairments to establish that they are individuals with disabilities and entitled to the ADA's protections. For example, the term "major life activities" includes not only activities such as walking, seeing, hearing, and concentrating, but also the operation of major bodily functions, such as functions of the brain and the neurological system.
Additionally, an impairment need not prevent or severely or significantly restrict your performance of a major life activity to be considered substantially limiting; the determination of whether an impairment substantially limits a major life activity must be made without regard to any mitigating measures (e.g., medications or assistive devices, such as prosthetic limbs) that you may use to lessen your impairment's effects; and impairments that are episodic or in remission (e.g., epilepsy or PTSD) are considered disabilities if they would be substantially limiting when active. Some service-connected disabilities, such as deafness, blindness, partially or completely missing limbs, mobility impairments requiring the use of a wheelchair, major depressive disorder, and PTSD, will easily be concluded to be disabilities under the ADA.
5. If I have a military disability rating or a disability rating from the VA, does that mean I am also covered by the ADA?
Yes, you are probably covered. Although the ADA uses different standards than the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in determining disability, many more service-connected disabilities will also be considered disabilities under the ADA than prior to the ADA Amendments Act.
6. Under the ADA, is a private employer required to hire me over other applicants because I have a disability?
Though it is not required to do so, a private employer may decide to give a veteran with a disability a preference in hiring. The ADA prohibits discrimination "on the basis of disability." This means that if you are qualified for a job, an employer cannot refuse to hire you because you have a disability or because you may need a reasonable accommodation to perform the job. Even if you are qualified for a job, an employer may choose another applicant without a disability because that individual is better qualified.
Some laws, however, require private employers to give a preference to veterans with disabilities. For example, the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) requires that businesses with a federal contract or subcontract in the amount of $100,000 or more, entered into on or after December 1, 2003, take affirmative action to employ and advance qualified disabled veterans. VEVRAA also requires these businesses to list their employment openings with the appropriate employment service and to give covered veterans priority in referral to such openings.
7. Are there any laws that will give me special consideration if I am looking for a job with the federal government?
Yes. Under the Veterans Preference Act, veterans with and without disabilities are entitled to preference over others in hiring from competitive lists of eligible applicants and may be considered for special noncompetitive appointments for which they are eligible.
Federal agencies also may use specific rules and regulations, called "special hiring authorities," to hire individuals with disabilities outside the normal competitive hiring process, and sometimes may even be required to give preferential treatment to veterans, including disabled veterans, in making hiring decisions.
Here are some of the special hiring authorities that may apply to you if you are looking for a job with the federal government:
- The Veterans' Recruitment Appointment (VRA) program allows agencies to appoint eligible veterans without competition.
- The Veterans Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA) can be used when filling permanent, competitive service positions. It allows veterans to apply for jobs that are only open to "status" candidates, which means "current competitive service employees."
- The Schedule A Appointing Authority, though not specifically for veterans, allows agencies to appoint eligible applicants who have a severe physical, psychological, or intellectual disability.
8. During a job interview, may an employer ask about my amputation, why I am in a wheelchair, or how I sustained any other injury I may have?
No. Even if your disability is obvious, an employer cannot ask questions about when, where, or how you were injured. However, where it seems likely that you will need a reasonable accommodation to do the job, an employer may ask you if an accommodation is needed and, if so, what type. In addition, an employer may ask you to describe or demonstrate how you would perform the job with or without an accommodation. For example, if the job requires that you lift objects weighing up to 50 pounds, the employer can ask whether you will need assistance or ask you to demonstrate how you will perform this task. Similarly, if you voluntarily reveal that you have an injury or illness and an employer reasonably believes that you will need an accommodation, it may ask what accommodation you need to do the job.
9. Do I have to disclose an injury or illness that is not obvious during an interview or indicate on a job application that I have a disability?
No. The ADA does not require you to disclose that you have any medical condition on a job application or during an interview. However, if you will need a reasonable accommodation to participate in the application process, such as more time to take a test or permission to provide oral instead of written responses, you must request it. Additionally, some veterans with service-connected disabilities may choose to disclose that they have medical conditions, such as PTSD or a traumatic brain injury, because of symptoms they experience or because they will need a reasonable accommodation at work. Once an employer makes a job offer, it may ask you questions about your medical conditions, and perhaps even require you to take a medical examination, as long as it requires everyone else in the same job to answer the same questions and/or take the same medical examination before starting work.
10. Some applications ask me to indicate whether I am a "disabled veteran." Is this legal?
Yes, if the information is being requested for affirmative action purposes. See EEOC Enforcement Guidance: Preemployment Disability-Related Questions and Medical Examinations Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (1995) at www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/preemp.html. An employer may ask applicants to voluntarily self-identify as individuals with disabilities or "disabled veterans" when the employer is: (1) undertaking affirmative action because of a federal, state, or local law (including a veterans' preference law) that requires affirmative action for individuals with disabilities; or (2) voluntarily using the information to benefit individuals with disabilities, including veterans with service-connected disabilities.
If an employer invites you to voluntarily self-identify as a disabled veteran, it must clearly inform you in writing (or orally, if no written questionnaire is used) that: (1) the information is being requested as part of the employer's affirmative action program; (2) providing the information is voluntary; (3) failure to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment; and (4) the information will be kept confidential and only used in a way that complies with the ADA.
11. What types of reasonable accommodations may I want to request for the application process or on the job?
The following are examples of types of accommodations that you may need for the application process or while on the job:
- written materials in accessible formats, such as large print, Braille, or on computer disk
- extra time to complete a test if you have difficulty concentrating or have a learning disability or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- interviews, tests, and training held in accessible locations
- modified equipment or devices (e.g., assistive technology that would allow you to use a computer if you are blind or to use a telephone if you are deaf or hard of hearing; a glare guard for a computer monitor if you have a TBI; a one-handed keyboard if you are missing an arm or hand)
- physical modifications to the workplace (e.g., reconfiguring a workspace, including adjusting the height of a desk or shelves if you use a wheelchair)
- permission to work from home
- leave for treatment, recuperation, or training related to your disability
- a modified or part-time work schedule
- a job coach who could assist you if you initially have some difficulty learning or remembering job tasks
- modification of supervisory methods, such as having a supervisor break complex assignments into smaller, separate tasks, provide some additional feedback or guidance on a task, or adjust methods of communication (e.g., give written rather than oral instructions for completing certain tasks)
- reassignment to a vacant position if your disability prevents you from performing the duties of your current position or where any reasonable accommodation in your current position would result in undue hardship (i.e., significant difficulty or expense)
12. How do I ask for a reasonable accommodation?
You simply have to indicate — orally or in writing — that you need an adjustment or change in the application process or at work for a reason related to a medical condition. For example, if you have a vision loss and cannot read standard print, you would need to inform the employer that you need the application materials in some other format (e.g., large print or on computer disk) or read to you. You do not have to mention the ADA or use the term "reasonable accommodation." Someone acting on your behalf, such as a family member, rehabilitation counselor, health professional, or other representative, also can make the request.
13. What happens after I request a reasonable accommodation?
A request for reasonable accommodation is the first step in an informal interactive process between you and the employer.
The process will involve determining whether you have a disability as defined by the ADA (where this is not obvious or already known) and identifying accommodation solutions. An employer also may ask if you know what accommodation you need that will help you apply for or do the job. There are extensive public and private resources to help identify reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with particular disabilities. For example, the website for the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) provides a practical guide for individuals with disabilities on requesting and discussing reasonable accommodations and on finding the right job. See JAN's website at www.askjan.org.
14. I am not sure whether I will need a reasonable accommodation. If I don't ask for one before I start working, can I still ask for one later?
Yes. You can request an accommodation at any time during the application process or when you start working even if you did not ask for one when applying for a job or after receiving a job offer. If you are already receiving a reasonable accommodation, you may also request a different or additional accommodation later if your disability and/or the job changes, or if another accommodation becomes available that will help you.
Generally, you should request an accommodation when you know that there is a workplace barrier that is preventing you from competing for or performing a job or having equal access to the benefits of employment. As a practical matter, it is better to request a reasonable accommodation before your job performance suffers.
15. What can I do if I feel that an employer has violated the ADA by not hiring me or providing a reasonable accommodation?
If you believe that your employment rights have been violated on the basis of disability (or for some other discriminatory reason), there are actions you can take:
- Claims against a private or a state or local government employer:To take formal action, you must file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. The charge must be filed by mail or in person with the local EEOC office within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation. The 180-day filing deadline is extended to 300 days if a state or local anti-discrimination law also covers the charge.The EEOC will send you and the employer a copy of the charge and may ask for responses and supporting information. Before a formal investigation, the EEOC may select the charge for EEOC's mediation program. Mediation is free, confidential, and voluntary for both parties. A charge will only be mediated if both parties agree to participate in the process. Mediation may prevent a time-consuming investigation of the charge.If a charge goes to mediation but is unsuccessful or is not selected for mediation, the EEOC investigates the charge to determine if there is "reasonable cause" to believe discrimination has occurred. If reasonable cause is found, the EEOC will then try to resolve the charge with the employer. In some cases, where the charge cannot be resolved, the EEOC will file a court action. If the EEOC finds no discrimination, or if an attempt to resolve the charge fails and the EEOC decides not to file suit, it will issue you a notice of a "right to sue," which will give you 90 days to file a court action. You also can request a notice of a "right to sue" from the EEOC 180 days after the charge first was filed with the EEOC and may then bring suit within 90 days after receiving the notice.
For a detailed description of the process, visit our website at www.eeoc.gov/charge/overview_charge_filing.html.
- Claims against a federal government agency: If you are a federal employee or applicant and you believe that a federal agency has discriminated against you, you have a right to file a complaint. Each agency is required to post information about how to contact the agency's EEO Office. You can contact an EEO Counselor by calling the office responsible for the agency's EEO complaints program.The first step is to contact an EEO Counselor at the agency where you work or where you applied for a job. Generally, you must contact the EEO Counselor within 45 days from the day the discrimination occurred. In most cases the EEO Counselor will give you the choice of participating either in EEO counseling or in an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) program, such as a mediation program.If you do not settle the dispute during counseling or through ADR, you can file a formal discrimination complaint against the agency with the agency's EEO Office. You must file within 15 days from the day you receive notice from your EEO Counselor about how to file. Once you have filed a formal complaint, the agency will review the complaint and, if the complaint is not dismissed for procedural reasons (e.g., because it was filed too late), the agency will conduct an investigation. The agency has 180 days from the day you filed your complaint to finish the investigation. When the investigation is finished, the agency will issue a notice giving you two choices: either request a hearing before an EEOC Administrative Judge or ask the agency to issue a decision as to whether the discrimination occurred.

Jupiter Moon conjunction
It's one of those days where I have a huge list of things to do but somehow nothing can be done in parallel and there's a lot of waiting around, never with quite enough time to get on with something else useful. I write this as I'm waiting for two programs to finish running and give me results for a paper I'm finally writing up having met up with a collaborator in Greece last week - of which more, perhaps, soon.
Anyway, after dinner with some friends last night I got home and saw the moon in near conjunction with Jupiter. I took a few shots and put two of them together to make the following, where Ganymede, Io and Calista were easily seen with the 300mm lens.

Take a new look at the fretboard and learn where to find a voicing that works. There are techniques that simplify the fretboard and steps that can be taken to find the chord you are looking for.
Taught by John March in Chord Alchemy with John seriesLength: 11:32Difficulty: 3.0 of 5
I love the little that I know about Ted Greene's approach to harmony. Can't wait to dig into this series!
As lesson titles go like "Chord Alchemy.
Thank you for doing this series, I've been looking for something like this for a while. I'm working on being able to improvise with chords, and I think this lesson set will help :)
Jessy; absolutely! In fact neck mapping and string voice approach is great for you as there are probably not a lot of resource for voicings in your set up. Let me know how things feel as we progress!
I'm intrigued to hear more about this separate voices concept, and see if I can extrapolate your concepts for the type of guitar that I play these days, which is 8-string, tuned all in fourths, and up a minor third from standard.
You might like to check out some George van Eps stuff, for extended range jazz guitar. :)
Absolutely nothing wrong with upper structure triads and moveable chords, but try looking at them differently and seeing and hearing the individual voices that comprise the "chord" and see where that can lead!
Will do my best. :)
The one-voice-per-string concept is very nice, lots of potential there! I will definitely need to work on that though. I keep returning to thinking of upper structure triads / movable chord forms.
I believe that as they are edited they get posted. You can always ask the Jamplay guys for updates. I am happy that you are interested and look forward to hearing how this helps!
Hi John- I can't wait to dig into your lessons. When will the next lesson sets appear?
I am glad to hear that!
It's interesting. I'm with you to this point......will run with it. The chord sequences for my lyrics tend to get predicatable; this might help break that cycle!

I am also a single dad with an amazing and wonderful 19 year old son, a scuba diver, zen student, teacher, writer, Buddhist facilitator in training, and amateur photographer. I have spent most of my life exploring the connection between art and spiritual practice, service and engaged social activism. My zen teacher used to say that; "the quality of your Life is dependent on the focus of your attention." I am deeply interested in situations and opportunities that move me towards the most creative place and the best possible solutions for each and every project that i work on. I believe that it is within our grasp to create situations and opportunities that transform and re-write the cultural status quo. To re-imagine the global culture as a communal work of Art. The great Zen teacher Suzuki Roshi said things very clearly in his book Zen Mind, Beginners Mind, when he said, "All self-centered thoughts limit our vast mind. When we have no thought of achievement, no thought of self, we are true beginners. Then we can really learn something."

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Thought the heretofore booming netbook industry was on a major upswing as price-conscious PC owners flocked to score one of the low-cost, highly portable laptops that emphasize performance over power? Guess again, as industry experts warn that the companies producing these systems and actual consumers buying them may be on different wavelengths.
With the holidays nearing and the machines' stocking-stuffer-ready size and cost, netbooks are anticipated to be a big buy this gift giving season. But with the introduction of 12-inch screens, ION processors and rising sticker prices, some technology insiders say the lines may be getting a little blurry for these pint-size PCs. Many industry analysts noted that, in the coming months, we may see netbooks grow rather than shrink—a little "switcheroo" for the technology world—as unlike most machinery, dwindling in size with advancement, this hardware is growing and ultimately defeating its original purpose.
So just what is the standard definition of a netbook? According to Nathan Edwards, Associate Editor of PC Magazine, a typical netbook computer has an Intel Atom single core processor, 1GB of RAM, weighs about 2-3 lbs, has a 10-to-11.6-inch screen, and will be priced anywhere from $250 to $400. Similarly, the typical view of netbooks in consumers' minds, says Edwards, is that these computers are simply portable, lightweight and cheap. But recently, he has noticed computing companies trying to pack more power into these mini laptops, causing the prices to go up.
"People want small, chic notebooks with a long battery life, and it can only have a little more power and be a little more expensive," he claims. "An advanced netbook is kind of an oxymoron—it's the size and simplicity that sells [these devices]." For example, although Edwards is himself excited about HP's new Mini 311-1000NR Nvidia ION-powered netbook with its 11.6-inch display and a full HD 1080p resolution, he remains perfectly content with his 8 month-old Asus Eee PC.
"The processor scene is changing—HP's the first and I think we're going to see a lot more options in terms of processors soon," claims Edwards.
Similarly, Mark Spoonauer, Laptop Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, remains dubious of the new trend to pack more power into these tiny PCS. He and his team put HP's Mini 311 with its outstanding graphics capabilities to the test and concluded that the compact computer could possibly double as a primary PC. However, despite these impressive results, he asks, "even if you had the most powerful system in the world, why would you want it on a 10 inch screen?" Realistically, he says, most people wouldn't.
In the same fashion, some experts are saying that it's not just processors changing, it's the whole machine. Thus far, the highest-selling netbooks have featured a standard 10.1-inch screen and 1GB of RAM. But Spoonauer believes that the "Holy Grail" of netbooks may not be considered a netbook at all. Ideally, Spoonauer thinks a consumer sweet-spot would be 13 inches of screen real estate that features a ULV processor paired with ION graphics capabilities and 2GB of RAM. Nonetheless, he also admits that such a machine not only barely borders on netbook status – it also qualifies as a notebook.
Now that lines are blurring, netbook-like machines are also being renamed, helping further muddy the waters. Toshiba's new netbooks, the 11-inch T115 and the 13-inch T135, are called "Ultra Portables" and come with up to 500GB of storage, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a ULV processor, and 6-cell battery life. Predictably, these above-average netbooks also sport above-average price tags, starting at $500 and rising. "Pricing is going to be paramount with shoppers," Spoonauer admits. "Consumers will get turned off by netbooks when their prices get too large."
Taking a step further, Frost and Sullivan industry analyst Todd Day thinks there is a grand mergence of technology headed our way. "We're going to continue to see netbooks, notebooks, and smartphones begin to converge into one blended category, and with this there will be a lot of competition for faster processors," he claims. According to Day, netbooks filled that niche in between smartphones and notebooks—people wanted something lightweight, portable, and cheap that wasn't a smartphone and didn't have licensing fees. "I'd rather pay the 300 dollars and not have the commitment that smartphones have," Day adds.
Pointing to the major mergence he mentions is Acer's new pack of Android operating system-fueled netbooks. Day supports this communion because Android was made to perform well under low-powered conditions, making these new netbooks extremely fast and responsive. Although not many details have been released yet by either Google or Acer, these new netbooks are supposed to retail for a relatively reasonable price range of about $400.
In terms of who's leading the petite pack currently, Day says Acer has definitely had the best netbooks sales— especially since the manufacturer came into the space a little earlier than Dell and HP—because the firm provides various models and makes them available at big name retailers like Costco, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. "A lot of students are buying netbooks because they're convenient machines, and the price is convenient for parents as well," says Day.
If major hardware companies keep their cool and listen to the experts' advice this winter, such mini machines may top holiday shopping lists. Whether or not netbooks will do so, however, or ultimately attempt to grow in power and performance by sacrificing affordability, is uncertain. Either way, it's too early to say whether consumers' love affair with the pint-sized PCs is cooling or still going strong, and how well recent trends in netbook manufacturing actually compute.

Champagne Bridesmaid Dresses
The champagne bridesmaid dress is timeless and neutral. The neutrality of this bridesmaid dress produces a perfect blend with many types of color palettes, making it a very popular style in weddings. The pale shade of champagne bridesmaid dresses conveys elegance and sophistication.
Traditionally, white is the preferred color of many brides on their wedding day. However, if you are a bride to be who want to deviate from the tradition and would prefer gowns of color, you can find a perfect alternative in champagne. [Continue reading..]
There are different variations in the champagne color. They are the medium shade, the deep and dark tones. In 1999, present day famous fashion designer and ex Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham wore a champagne dress on her wedding day to David Beckham. The gown featured a 20-foot train which was designed by Vera Wang. Since the late 1990's the earth tone color has steadily increased in popularity.
The Off White Color
Out of the color spectrum, champagne did not see its first use until the early 1900's. Champagne the color is derived from numerous pale shades of orange and yellows giving a similar tone to beige. The similarity to the color of the beverage is how its name was earned as champagne is the drink of celebration especially at weddings.
Complementing a Champagne Bridesmaid Dress
Champagne beige is an alternative to consider as a tone-down version of the ginger ale color. This faint and light color works well with off-white, ivory or vintage shades. As the color is similar to a light shade of tan, you can readily complement champagne beige with colors in the brown family including caramel and chocolate.
Additionally, combining champagne beige with light shades of pink, deep shades of peach and green and spring green creates a look that is beautifully unique. Planning a beach wedding? Then make your bridesmaids look fabulous by pairing their champagne dresses with hats and shoes in either chocolate or caramel to complement the wedding's location.
Equally, ivory and chocolate would also look good paired with pink champagne. Powder blue and pink champagne would create a dreamy, serene and soft look while dark shades of blue will contrast attractively. The pink champagne comes out as a cool color thus, you can pair it with darker pink hues such as fuchsia to create a warm balance.
In the red family, you can choose burgundy, wine and crimson to combine with pink champagne. If you plan to have a garden wedding, create a look that is appropriate for the setting by accenting the pink champagne-colored dresses of your bridesmaids with fuchsia or ivory in their sashes or bouquets.
When choosing the champagne-colored fabrics, go for satin or silk which has a sheen to avoid making the dresses look bland and flat. Natural metallic are also perfect accents on champagne-colored dresses.
Beware of this Pairing with Your Champagne Bridesmaid Dress
One thing to keep in mind is to avoid pairing champagne with yellow gold, which tends to look loud and overpowering, as the colors clashes with each other.
The champagne color has yellowish-orange tints and it is so pale that it resembles beige. When deciding on coordinating colors for a champagne-colored dress, it is advisable to identify the undertones of the type of shade you prefer. A dusky lavender complements red undertones. A moss green works well in a champagne with a bluish undertone.

External Cladding Tayside
Our external cladding is stocked in a wide range of colours and woodgrain effects including light oak, dark oak, mahogany, black ash and rosewood. Our external cladding offers a fantastic outdoor decorative solution for your home.We are fast becoming one of the biggest online distributors of plastic building products. External Cladding is used to repel and protect against moisture, and is used predominantly to cover areas of the exterior of your home that would greatly benefit from a renovation.
This product is normally fitted in an overlapped vertical position, which will then hide any fixtures and fittings used to install the product. Once properly fitted it gives a truly impeccable finish at much lower cost than refurbishing large areas of your home's exterior.
Our cladding can also be used with many of our other plastic products of which our sales team are more than happy to assist you. The material itself has a foam centre and a tough durable shell, which can be finished in either a smooth white or decorative foil, this gives it a 'wood grain' type effect.
External cladding is a very cost effective and low maintenance system for your home. Once installed the wipe of a cloth and pressure washing every so often are enough to keep the system in tremendous condition. All fixings are corrosion resistant, ensuring this system can last many years.
The colours that our cladding is available include smooth white and wood grain type effects. The current wood grain finishes stocked here at MP Plastics include Light Oak, Rosewood, Mahogany and Black Ash, and sheets are available in 5m lengths with a width of 150mm.
Please contact our sales team for any more information or assistance you may need regarding external cladding or any other of our fantastic products.

Revenues of this tiny island have traditionally come from exports of phosphates, now significantly depleted. an australian company in 2005 entered into an agreement intended to exploit remaining supplies. few other resources exist with most necessities being imported, mainly from australia, its former occupier and later major source of support. the rehabilitation of mined land and the replacement of income from phosphates are serious long-term problems. in anticipation of the exhaustion of nauru's phosphate deposits, substantial amounts of phosphate income were invested in trust funds to help cushion the transition and provide for nauru's economic future. as a result of heavy spending from the trust funds, the government faces virtual bankruptcy. to cut costs the government has frozen wages and reduced overstaffed public service departments. in 2005, the deterioration in housing, hospitals, and other capital plant continued, and the cost to australia of keeping the government and economy afloat continued to climb. few comprehensive statistics on the nauru economy exist, with estimates of nauru's gdp varying widely.
Limited natural fresh water resources, roof storage tanks collect rainwater, but mostly dependent on a single, aging desalination plant; intensive phosphate mining during the past 90 years - mainly by a uk, australia, and nz consortium - has left the central 90% of nauru a wasteland and threatens limited remaining land resources

Editor's Note: The author of this opinion piece, aka "weev," was found guilty last week of computer intrusion for obtaining the unprotected e-mail addresses of more than 100,000 iPad owners from AT&T's website, and passing them to a journalist. His sentencing is set for February 25, 2013.
Right now there's a hacker out there somewhere producing a zero-day attack. When he's done, his "exploit" will enable whatever parties possess it to access thousands – even millions – of computer systems.
But the critical moment isn't production – it's distribution. What will the hacker do with his exploit? Here's what could happen next:
The hacker decides to sell it to a third party. The hacker could sell the exploit to unscrupulous information-security vendors running a protection racket, offering their product as the "protection." Or the hacker could sell the exploit to repressive governments who can use it to spy on activists protesting their authority. (It's not unheard of for governments, including that of the U.S., to use exploits to gather both foreign and domestic intelligence.)* *
Andrew Auernheimer
An internet troll convicted of two consecutive computer crime felonies, Andrew 'weev' Auernheimer has over a decade of C, asm, Perl, and obnoxious IRC curmudgeonry under his belt. He is a liberty advocate and future federal prisoner of America.
__The hacker notifies the vendor, who may – or may not – patch.* __The vendor may patch mission-critical customers (read: those paying more money) before other users. Or, the vendor may decide not to release a patch because a cost/benefit analysis conducted by an in-house MBA determines that it's cheaper to simply do … nothing. *
The vendor patches, but pickup is slow. It's not uncommon for large customers to do their own extensive testing – often breaking software features that couldn't have been anticipated by the vendor – before deploying improved patches to their employees. All of this means that vendor patches can be left undeployed for months (or even years) for the vast majority of users.* *
__The vendor creates an armored executable with anti-forensic methods to prevent reverse engineering. __This is the right way to deploy a patch. It's also manpower-intensive, which means it rarely happens. So discovering vulnerabilities is as easy as popping the old and new executable into an IDA Pro debugger with BinDiff to compare what's changed in the disassembled code. Like I said: easy.
Basically, exploiting the vast unpatched masses is an easy game for attackers. Everyone has their own interests to protect, and they aren't always the best interests of users.
Things Aren't So Black and White ——————————–
Vendors are motivated to protect their profits and their shareholders' interests over everything else. Governments are motivated to value their own security interests over the individual rights of their citizens, let alone those of other nations. And for many information security players, it's far more lucrative to sell incrementally improved treatments of a disease's symptoms than it is to sell the cure.
Clearly, not all the players will act ethically, or capably. To top it all off, the original hacker rarely gets paid for his or her highly skilled application of a unique scientific discipline towards improving a vendor's software and ultimately protecting users.
So who should you tell? The answer: nobody at all.
White hats are the hackers who decide to disclose: to the vendor or to the public. Yet the so-called whitehats of the world have been playing a role in distributing digital arms through their disclosures.
Researcher Dan Guido reverse-engineered all the major malware toolkits used for mass exploitation (such as Zeus, SpyEye, Clampi, and others). His findings about the sources of exploits, as reported through the Exploit Intelligence Project, are compelling:
- None of the exploits used for mass exploitation were developed by malware authors.
- Instead, all of the exploits came from "Advanced Persistent Threats" (an industry term for nation states) or from whitehat disclosures.
- Whitehat* *disclosures accounted for *100 percent *of the logic flaws used for exploitation.
Criminals actually "prefer whitehat code," according to Guido, because it works far more reliably than code provided from underground sources. Many malware authors actually lack the sophistication to alter even existing exploits to increase their effectiveness.
Navigating the Gray ——————-
A few farsighted hackers of the EFnet-based computer underground saw this morally conflicted security quagmire coming 14 years ago. Uninterested in acquiring personal wealth, they gave birth to the computational ethics movement known as Anti Security or "antisec."
Antisec hackers focused on exploit development as an intellectual, almost spiritual discipline. Antisec wasn't – isn't – a "group" so much as a philosophy with a single core position:
An exploit is a powerful weapon that should only be disclosed to an individual whom you know (through personal experience) will act in the interest of social justice.
After all, dropping an exploit to unethical entities makes you a party to their crimes: It's no different than giving a rifle to a man you know is going to shoot someone.
Though the movement is over a decade old, the term "antisec" has recently come back into the news. But now, I believe that state-sanctioned criminal acts are being branded as antisec. For example: Lulzsec's Sabu was first arrested last year on June 7, and his criminal actions were labeled "antisec" on June 20, which means everything Sabu did under this banner was done with the full knowledge and possible condonement of the FBI. (This included the public disclosure of tables of authentication data that compromised the identities of possibly millions of private individuals.)
This version of antisec has nothing in common with the principles behind the antisec movement I'm talking about.
But the children entrapped into criminal activity – the hackers who made the morally bankrupt decision of selling exploits to governments – are beginning to publicly defend their egregious sins. This is where antisec provides a useful cultural framework, and guiding philosophy, for addressing the gray areas of hacking. For example, a core function of antisec was making it unfashionable for young hackers to cultivate a relationship with the military-industrial complex.
Clearly, software exploitation brings society human rights abuses and privacy violations. And clearly, we need to do something about it. Yet I don't believe in legislative controls on the development and sale of exploits. Those who sell exploits should not be barred from their free trade – but they should be reviled.
In an age of rampant cyber espionage and crackdowns on dissidents, the *only *ethical place to take your zero-day is to someone who will use it in the interests of social justice. And that's not the vendor, the governments, or the corporations – it's the individuals.
In a few cases, that individual might be a journalist who can facilitate the public shaming of a web application operator. However, in many cases the harm of disclosure to the un-patched masses (and the loss of the exploit's potential as a tool against oppressive governments) greatly outweighs any benefit that comes from shaming vendors. In these cases, the antisec philosophy shines as morally superior and you shouldn't disclose to anyone.
So it's time for antisec to come back into the public dialogue about the ethics of disclosing hacks. This is the only way we can arm the good guys – whoever you think they are – for a change.

The End of the Frugal Year(s)
As I don't have as much time to dedicate to the blog as I'd like, I'm going to close it. What this means is that no new posts will be be added, but the content will still be up for all to view. I'll also still be out on the streets; gaming, painting, modelling and generally geeking out.
The blog has proved to be very successful and I'm certain that it wouldn't been any good without the fantastic input from Von, Pete and Arabian Knight who all produced great articles and helped make the site very successful.
All the feedback and input I've received from you, the readers, over the years has been invaluable and has really made me part of a wide community.
Since starting the blog, my gaming has increased and my painting has improved in both speed and quality, I've also made some good friends along the way. I've probably spent a bit more than I planned, but hey, nobody's perfect.
Happy Gaming!

Robber clearly seen in surveillance images
Police seek help identifying armed robber
Police need help identifying the man who held up a convenience store at gunpoint this week.
Officers were called to the Midtown Gas and Grocery near 13th and Martha streets for a report of a robbery around 8:40 p.m. Wednesday.
A store employee told police the robber entered the store, displayed a firearm and demanded money.
Surveillance video shows the robber was in the store for two minutes. He's first seen at the counter getting money from the clerk, and then the robber starts rummaging behind the counter for what appears to be cigarettes. The two then go to a back storage room, where the robber instructs the clerk to get down on his knees.
The robber was described as a black man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
Omaha police said surveillance video shows numerous angles of the robber, and investigators are hoping someone will recognize him.
Anyone with information on the case should call a detective at 402-444-5652. If you want to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867.

This was originally posted by Mark Bartrick on forrester.com
Chief information officers (CIOs) are dedicating more of their budgets to what we call "systems of engagement" (technologies that help win, serve, and retain customers) rather than "systems of record" (back-office technologies). According to research here at Forrester, new business investment in the former will be eight times that of the latter in 2014. All of which means CIOs are re-examining their back-office legacy spend to see what savings can be made to fund new front-office innovations.
But releasing back-office spend is not easy. For many companies, most of the 'easy' savings have already been achieved - so squeezing even more savings has become a tougher game. For example, you can only try to re-negotiate legacy support costs a few times before the vendors say 'enough is enough'. While such comments may have discouraged negotiators in past, the advent of third party software support in the last five years has, for Oracle and SAP users at least, kicked the cost savings door back open and given fresh impetus to procurement people seeking to reduce software support costs.
I am sure that many of you have read some of my previous comments on the emergence of the third party software support market over the past number of years. Companies like Rimini Street, Spinnaker Support and Alui have saved some Oracle and SAP clients a lot of money. For companies who have moved to third party support, or who have simply used the threat of moving to third party support in order to drive the vendor's costs lower, the savings they are enjoying have freed up cash to spend on new innovations and front-office client engaging stuff....Continue reading

No more excuses: smoking ban enforced in NT prisons
They've had months to prepare but some prisoners will still find it tough to kick the habit as a ban on smoking is enforced in all Northern Territory prisons.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
From today Northern Territory prisons will become smoke free zones with prisoners, visitors and staff all affected by the total ban on cigarettes.
Alice Springs prisoner Greg George has been smoking for more than 25 years but gave up a week ago to prepare for today's ban.
"I'm looking good with no smoking, when I'm just doing my job I don't worry about anything else, I like doing my job.
"I'm feeling good but I'm thinking about the other guys here... in prison there are a lot of blokes in here that smoke and they all stress out," he says.
The Northern Territory is the first jurisdiction in Australia to introduce the ban to prisons and they have been phasing it in, the sale of tobacco products stopped a week ago and there has been an ongoing program to help smokers quit.
Nicole Bell is a prison officer at the Alice Springs Correctional Centre and is on the Non-Smoking Policy Committee, she too is giving up the habit.
"We've been providing the patches and nicotine replacement therapy for 18 months now; we also do a three month course for staff and prisoners.
"It's something that's had to happen, we had an exclusion put on this place years and years ago when there was a ban on smoking in government buildings, and the exclusion has been lifted," she says.
If anyone wants advice all they'll have to do is ask Dean Wilson, he gave up smoking when he was first sent to prison three years ago.
Dean works in the kitchen and is on the Sports and Rec Committee, he says as long as the prisoners stay busy and eat good food everyone will cope just fine.
"We'll just keep giving them more sports and activities and I think it will make them forget about the smokes.
"It's pretty hard though (to give up smoking), when I gave up it was hard but the feeling is great now," he says.

Could it be? Has it been an entire season of Jersey Shore? Are we really saying arrivederci to Florence with our favorite gorilla juiceheads and guidettes? It seems like only yesterday the meatballs were hooking up with one another and Mike was bashing his head into a wall. Ahh, memories. I mean, this was the season that had a bearable, dare I say likeable, Rawn and Sam! That, in itself, is mind boggling.
We rejoin the group at the tail end of their clubbing. At home, Mike continues to talk to himself and practice karate on the walls. Snooki wakes up and proceeds to ignore Mike as he wanders aimlessly around the house having a solo conversation. The rest of the roommates return home from the clerb, with Sam begging Rawn to talk some sense into Mike after his antics earlier in the evening.
The Situation confides in Ronnie that he feels like the villain. Ronnie knows that Mike has been depressed and he wants him to try to mend fences with the housemates. A slightly defensive Mike says he doesn't care if his roommates don't like him. He has gotten used to be alone. Sammi commends Rawn for at least trying to talk to Mike.

Senate approves WEDC board term limits
Agency has drawn fire since May audit
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Senate has approved a bill that would limit terms for board members at Gov. Scott Walker's troubled quasi-public jobs agency.
The bipartisan measure would set fixed, six-year terms for Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation board members rather than have them serve at the pleasure of the governor and legislative leaders. State auditors would have to perform annual reviews of WEDC's finances rather than biennial studies, and all WEDC employees would be subject to state ethics laws.
WEDC has drawn fire after a May audit found the agency didn't consistently follow the law or its own policies during its first year, failed to adequately track loans and provided tax breaks to companies that didn't qualify.
The Senate passed the measure unanimously Tuesday.

hello folks.
Small question, pain in my ass.
Anyway, the reason i've asked this question is due to this sample code,
Client sided:
output.write(packet.getId()); output.write((packet.getBuffer().length >>> 24) & 0xFF); output.write((packet.getBuffer().length >>> 16) & 0xFF); output.write((packet.getBuffer().length >>> 8) & 0xFF); output.write((packet.getBuffer().length >>> 0) & 0xFF); output.write(packet.getBuffer());
Packet, is a wrapper i use to help me construct packets,
public Packet(int id, byte[] buffer);
Well, to make sure im writing the correct byte, i check the length, within the method.
Now an example client code:
Now' ill get significantly smaller numbers in comparison..
The server will write a byte array of 160291 bytes(Confirmed by outprint), and the clien will read somthing like 17391 as avail,
*Other notes,
After I call the reading off all the avail bytes, the input fills up with another byte array with another substansilly small amount of the buffer size, eventually all the incoming byte array's lengths add up to the amount of bytes I sent in the first place,
This means:
**I can work around this small pain, but Im just curious why the input stream isn't being filled with in the 160291 byte's in the first read.
The above is where my question lyes,
All possible answers welcomed!
